See the Sample Exhibit provided in this section for an example of what this item should look like, and the kind of information it should include. 4. A general location map of the property must also accompany your application. Examples include such data as county highway maps with the location marked, USGS topographical maps with the location marked, or applicable county tax maps with the area highlighted, etc. The proposed leased or licensed property should be highlighted. 5. Please read the insurance overview and make certain you can comply with all requirements. 6. Be sure to submit any attachments specifically called for with the application such as agreement copies, sketches of the property, or agreements with any NS departments or contractors to enter NS property. Processing of your application requires NS management review and approval and may involve several departments at NS. The proposed site may not be used prior to the execution of a separate formal agreement with NS and verification that all insurance requirements have been met. Environmental rights of entry may require fees and information in addition to that required by the application form for approval to enter the property.

Insurance
Each tenant/licensee shall be required to obtain, at its sole cost and expense, various types of insurance coverage with various limits. These insurance coverages must be of a form and be underwritten by insurance companies that meet with the NS approval. In addition, the tenant/licensee may be required to pay NS a risk-financing fee in certain instances. The types of insurance typically required by NS include: Commercial General Liability Insurance Worker's Compensation Insurance Automobile Liability Insurance Railroad Protective Liability Insurance (during construction or maintenance only)

Norfolk Southern generally requires a policy of Commercial General Liability Insurance with a combined single limit of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence for injury to or death of persons and damage to or loss or destruction of property. Specific insurance requirements will be provided to you in the agreement covering your request when it is approved by the Railroad.

Exhibit/Sketch
An exhibit/sketch of the proposed leased property, with dimensions, should accompany all applications. Any planned improvements on the property, with dimensions from the nearest track, should also be depicted. Below is an example of what the sketch might look like, and some of the dimensions it could include. Try to provide as many details or landmarks that identify the premises as possible. Mileposts generally exist along every mile of the RR and are similar in appearance to the mile markers found along interstates. If you have a GPS (Global Positioning System), please include property latitude and longitude. If milepost markers are readily accessible or visible on the property, we appreciate your including the details but your safety is our foremost concern.

Maps
Examples include such data as county highway maps with the location marked, USGS topographical maps with the location marked, or applicable county tax maps with the area highlighted, etc. The proposed lease or licensed area should be highlighted. Please indicate which direction is north.
